Coaches & Team Managers
Each team requires a coach and a team manager, usually a volunteer parent. Please consider volunteering for one of thesepositions. If there is no volunteer team manager, a team will not be formed for that grade.
Subject to availability, a coach may be outsourced. If this occurs, an additional coaching fee will be payable at the end of theterm. This comes at an additional cost of $15 for each coached session and $10 for each game on the weekend.
Training Times
Training time and day are at the discretion of the coach but are normally held on a weekday after school.
Match Times
Matches are played on Saturday mornings at various times and venues arranged by Sturt Football Club. Matches generallycommence mid-May and continue until early September. Season fixtures are not usually available until the week of the firstgame. There are no games during the school holidays.
